How old do you have to be to rent a car in Joshua Tree?
Rental car rules in Joshua Tree require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Home suppliers impose what’s known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the classes of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may vary between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Joshua Tree?
While rules can differ between car rental outlets, the two things you’ll need are a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. You don’t need to take out insurance with your home company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Joshua Tree?
You can, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Discover our long-term car rental deals in Joshua Tree and drive off with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Joshua Tree car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver looking for a holiday home in Joshua Tree, check the policies of the holiday home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be additional costs if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any nasty surprises at the holiday home desk, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Joshua Tree with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle.
